Stricken With Blindness.

A Kalamazoo (Mich.) Telegraph
Reporter gives the following state
ment of DR.. G. FRANCHISE, the well
known veterinary surgeon of that
city, in reference to case of blind
ness. The Doctor says:
"FOur years ago last spring little
Willie, the four year-Old son of Mr..
Peter De Witt, a relative of mine,
residing at that time in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, was taken with the
measles. The disease struck in ON
him, and the poor
LITTLE FELLOW WAS LEFT BLIND
distinguished physicians in Mil
Waukee and Chicago were consulted,
and said that nothing could be done
for him, and that, blinded thus early,
he would continue sightless during
his entire life While at Hot Springs
MIR. DE Witt had heard the $. 5. $
remedy, manufactured at Atlanta,
spoken of very highly. How it hap
peled l don't know, for $. $. $. is
not guaranteed to cure blindness;
but by some happy chance it was de.
cided to test its efficacy in Willie's
case. by the time he had taken Il
bottle and a half his eyes had so far
recovered that he could play out of
doors. After taking four bottles he
was completely cured His eyes
seemed perfectly sound and have
continued so ever since"
"Here, Willie, Willie, come here!"
shouted the doctor suddenly, to an
active little boy dressed in knicker-
bOckers, who was playing in the
street.
"This is Willie De Witt. His
father used to be a railroad cOnduc-
tor, but he is out West now on bust
ness, and Willie is staying with us
until he gets back. He goes to the
East Avenue school every day, and
never has the least trouble with his
eyesight. See, his eyes looks as well
as yours Or mine."
